I just happened upon this list online, courtesy of GameSpot.

Looks like Nintendo finally released the official launch day line-up.

What do you guys think? Best ever? I guess it's impossible to say without playing all the games, but still fun to debate.

Not the same Wipeout. Also I think the launch titles are decent, but not amazing considering quite a few of them are just ports of already existing titles. It has a nice launch window though. Looking forward to Bayonetta 2 and what-ever Monolith Soft does.

I must admit it's quite a strong lineup, even with the many ports available. But AC3, CoD, JD4, Mario, and Zombi U are very strong and diverse. Very happy with the launch!

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I would argue that it is the best by a long shot in one way (total number of really high quality games), and it is less impressive but still very good in another (number of high quality games only available for that platform). I think there are about 4 to 6 exclusive launch games that could see a metacritic/gamerankings score about 75% and sell over 1 million units, and about 4 to 6 multiplatform launch games that I could see performing similarly well.

I really like it too.

Many not only big, but huge franchises and the first Nintendo system to launch with a new Mario game since the N64 and with a new REAL Mario game since the SNES.
